Excellent essay by Amber Tamblyn

[KT2000]

For women in America who come forward with stories of harassment, abuse and sexual assault, there are not two sides to every story, however noble that principle might seem. Women do not get to have a side. They get to have an interrogation. Too often, they are questioned mercilessly about whether their side is legitimate. Especially if that side happens to accuse a man of stature, then that woman has to consider the scrutiny and repercussions she’ll be subjected to by sharing her side.

1. I liked her conclusion. . .

". . .the more we open our mouths, the more we become a choir. And the more we are a choir, the more the tune is forced to change."

It reminded me of something said in Michael Moore's film, Where to Invade Next, where the a women executive in Iceland point out that on a corporation's Board of Directors, "one woman is a token, two are a minority, but three are a movement which changes the dynamics" (paraphrased).
